As the Venezuelan election heats up in the wake of Hugo Chavez' death ugly recriminations have flown back and forth between those who support chosen interim president Nicolás Maduro and opposition candidate Henrique Capriles.

Some of Capriles' supporters have taken to denigrating Maduro for his former life as a poor bus driver exposing existing classist bias while some of Maduro's supporters have revived recent allegations that Capriles is gay and attacked him for his Jewish heritage even though Capriles calls himself a Catholic man.

1. So... I guess Capriles is denouncing the new pope as an absolute fascist?

By implication only? Or does he say that explicitly?

2. I don't know about the pope vis a vis Capriles' statements

I think he IS denouncing Chavez's man though.

3. The church hierarchy HATED Chavez. I can't imagine that they're NOT backing Capriles.

Seems fair to wonder if Capriles is exempting them ( do they get a .... ummm... *dispensation*) from his scorn re. lgbt discrimination
(such as that practiced and preached by said hierarchy).

SA politics is making mighty strange bedfellows these days. I thought OUR politics were crazy.
